Where can I get one?

A lot of members have fitted them from Land Rover Freelanders, but there was one produced by Rover specifically for the 75, however, these are very unusual.

So look at getting one off a Freelander is my best option then?

Freelander would be the easiest bet, try a post in the items wanted section. The original Rover part is extremely rare.

And I expect expensive.
Have been looking at steering wheels with the wood and was shocked to see how much people on Fleabay want.

I was fortunate to have been supplied this high quality OEM piece of trim in walnut by your good self. It had its own Rover box, fitting instructions with glue and glue applicator. I kept the box and the fitting instructions in case I ever decide to sell it on. The handle did not need the glue as it fitted perfectly. Well done Rover

Be careful as 20 seconds in my microwave cracked the veneer on a Freelander version.

It certainly has a nice feel to it. It was kind of you Paul to knock £5 off what you paid for it. I owe you a beer lol

I suppose I could have put it on eBay and made a few more quid, but it's of better benefit to members.

I sold my mint Smokestone/Walnut wheel the same afternoon. The door finishers were also listed and sold in three minutes too.
